This isn`t the first instance of web site's blocking access via NTL proxies that I have come across. I've experienced periods when both the IMDB and Slashdot have blocked access via NTL proxies. I guess the problem with the proxies that a lot of legitimate traffic originating from them could appear to be a single user making excessive requests to a single site, hence the blockage.

With the IMDB issue, I e-mailed their support pointing out that they had actually blocked a proxy and they soon unblocked it. Does this site know that they have blocked a proxy, or are they assuming they have blocked an individual customer?
